Spryker to Akeneo Integration App

What is the Alumio Integration App for Spryker to Akeneo?

Going beyond standard Connectors, the Alumio Integration App for Spryker & Akeneo delivers a fully pre-configured, battle-tested, and ready-to-use connection between the two apps, which can be implemented via the Alumio iPaaS in as less than a day. The Integration App includes all the standard business logic, key mappings, and transformations, configured based on a well-defined ‘Entity schema’ that enables both integrated apps to seamlessly exchange data.

Developed by Memo (Alumio partners and integration experts), the Integration App for Spryker to Akeneo is delivered as a complete integration package that comes with full support, and implemented via the Alumio iPaaS (integration Platform as a Service). Designed to fulfill the most common integration use cases between Akeneo & Spryker, it ensures that most business needs are readily addressed. The Alumio iPaaS also provides flexible data transformation features to limitlessly customize the pre-built integration based on business needs.

How does the Alumio Integration App for Akeneo to Spryker work?

While integrations are usually built by combining Connectors (pre-configured software data) of the applications being connected, the Alumio Integration App for Spryker to Akeneo directly delivers these end-to-end connections via one deployable package. It eliminates redundancies by pre-configuring essential elements like:

• Translations: Automatically handles translations from Akeneo in Spryker, ensuring data consistency.

• Property Mapping: Simplifies the process of mapping Akeneo properties to Spryker attributes.

• Data Migration: Efficiently transfers product data, including attributes, categories, images and media files, between the two applications

As Johan Moormann, founder of Memo and developer of the Integration App explains, “We’ve solved repetitive work in the code by fixing translation issues and ensuring that all necessary property groups are set up in a base entity. This eliminates the need to rebuild these components every time, making the process more efficient. It provides one model to make communication between different platforms possible, because we transform to or from - this model.”

The Integration App allows users to simply define which fields need to be set up, and the system takes care of the rest, automatically retrieving and organizing all necessary data from Akeneo to be displayed correctly in Spryker. This not only reduces setup time but also ensures consistency across integrations.
